If you're picky like me, it can be a nightmare trying to book a hotel, let alone a hostel. I have to look through every single choice available, sort by price, then by reviews, read the reviews, and try to book the one which is supposedly sold out for my dates. So when I came across Langsters in Zurich, which had mixed reviews and dubbed a party hostel, I was thrown for a loop. I was also recovering from a cold. Could I endure 2 sleepless nights, fighting off drunks as I make my way back to my room? This is the beginning of what went through my mind. None the less, I trusted the central location, the 73% rating on Hostel World, and took the plunge.
Upon arrival, it was everything that I could have hoped for and more. Rad little cafe out front, with a bar, hippy-green pillows, and an ultra-friendly receptionist. I could now fit into the "hipster" group just by proxy. And to add to the good timing, tonight was Friday, and this cafe/bar had live jams happening later. Maybe I am a dirtbag in disguise, and love that "after party" smell early Saturday morning, finding people's shoes in random places from the last nights party, or the grunge factor about this place that makes it so cool and laid back. I am not a squeaky clean tourist who can only sleep in absolute quiet at 300$ per night, and avoids homeless like the lepers. So about the bad reviews, I don't know, stay tuned, let's see where the night takes me!
